Did I miss something in my pvr config? Cannot record 2 shows at once?

[kjacques1 3]

I'm having an unusual problem in that I cannot record 2 shows at once. I have the hd home run connect which has two tuners. For example, I scheduled Big Bang Theory and Grey's Anatomy which are both Thursday at 8 pm. Only one will record. It doesn't look like Emby is engaging the other availible tuner even though it shows available on the config page. If I switch to the Hdhome run app that software will engage both tuners.

 

Any thoughts?

Hi, we'd probably have to take a look at the server log from the time to see what happened:

Thanks. These are recording transcoding logs. How about the regular emby server log from that time? thanks.

Server Log from 25th.

Sorry - this log is for 2/24 and has only a single recording timer fired for 'Days of Our Lives'.  For the information you referenced above you need the log for 2/25.

The only logs I have from 2/25 are transcoding logs. The next server logs are 2/26. I have attached them.

OK - in log.zip I can see that both timers fired however only the 'Big Bang' started to stream to mp4. 

 

Can you test a scenario where you turn off the auto conversion to mp4?  Just uncheck this in the Live TV settings.

 

Do you have your recording location set as a library location?

[kjacques1 3]

OK, I have unchecked the automatically convert recordings to streaming friendly format and have added the recording section to the library. I will report back on the next test.

 

Thanks.

[Luke 42077]

Thanks, much appreciated.

[mellomade 141]

have added the recording section to the library.

Thanks.

Actually you don't want to have the recording location scanned as part of your library. Sorry if that was unclear.

[kjacques1 3]

Ok. I've removed it from the library.

[Luke 42077]

Ok. I've removed it from the library.

 

Just fyi, we are working on removing this limitation, so it's not permanent.
